THERE IS NO PHYSICAL USER MANUAL IN THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE DASH SCREENS TURN BLANK (HAPPENS REGULARLY), THE ONLINE VERSION IS NOT ACCESSIBLE IN THE VEHICLE. THE BMW APP ONLY WORKS WHERE THERE IS NETWORK COVERAGE SO THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION EITHER. THE DEALER CANNOT ORDER A USER MANUAL BECAUSE THE OEM, BMW, HAS NOT RELEASED IT. BMW CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISES THAT THEY ONLY HAVE ONLINE VERSIONS. ISN'T THE PHYSICAL AVAILABILITY OF A USER MANUAL A REQUIREMENT ? WILLING TO PAY FOR IT, BUT THE OEM DOESN'T EVEN SELL ONE.
